ABSTRACT

In certain aspects, the present invention provides methods for producing terminally hydroxylated alkenes and alkynes by contacting an unsaturated or saturated hydrocarbon substrate with a hydroxylase enzyme. Exemplary terminal hydroxylases useful for carrying out the methods of the invention exhibit strong selectivity towards one terminal carbon of a hydrocarbon substrate and include, but are not limited to, non-heme diiron alkane monooxygenases, cytochromes P450 (e.g., cytochromes P450 of the CYP52 and CYP153 family), as well as long chain alkane hydroxylases. In some embodiments, the terminally hydroxylated alkene or alkyne is further converted to a terminal alkenal. In certain embodiments, terminally hydroxylated alkenes and alkynes are useful as insect pheromones which modify insect behavior. In other embodiments, terminally hydroxylated alkenes and alkynes are useful intermediates for producing pheromones via acetylation or oxidation of the alcohol moiety.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Insect pheromones can be used in a variety of insect control strategies that include mating disruption and attract-and-kill, as well as mass trapping. These strategies have proven to be effective, selective (e.g., they do not harm beneficial insects, such as bees and lady bugs), and safe (e.g., the compounds are generally biodegradable and do not accumulate in the food chain). Even the very stringent USDA Organic Program lists insect pheromones as one of the few synthetic organic compounds allowed in organic crop production, another important recognition of the high safety of these products. Accordingly, pheromones already form the basis of integrated pest management (IPM) practices in fruit production on the U.S. west coast, and their use in organic farming is growing worldwide.

Despite these advantages, pheromones are not widely used today because of the high cost of about $500 to $14,000 per kg of active ingredient (AI). Even though thousands of insect pheromones have been identified, less than about twenty insect pests worldwide are currently controlled using pheromone strategies, and only 0.05% of global agricultural land employs pheromones.

Lepidopteran pheromones, which are naturally occurring compounds, or identical or substantially similar synthetic compounds, are designated by an unbranched aliphatic chain (between 9 and 18 carbons) ending in an alcohol, aldehyde, or acetate functional group and containing up to 3 double bonds in the aliphatic backbone.

The present invention provides methods by which lepidopteran insect pheromones as well as structurally related compounds are prepared using synthetic strategies that are enabled by a biocatalytic step.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION I. Introduction

The present invention provides a method of producing terminally oxyfunctionalized alkenes and alkynes. In certain aspects, the method includes contacting an unsaturated or saturated hydrocarbon substrate with a hydroxylase enzyme in the presence of molecular oxygen, reducing equivalents, and optionally redox partners under conditions sufficient to provide a terminally hydroxylated alkene or alkyne. The unsaturated or saturated hydrocarbon substrates can be prepared using the methods described herein. Relevant terminal hydroxylases useful for carrying out this method exhibit strong selectivity towards the terminal carbon of an alkyl chain and include, but are not limited to, non-heme diiron alkane monooxygenases, cytochromes P450 (e.g., cytochromes P450 of the CYP52 and CYP153 family), as well as long chain alkane hydroxylases. In certain embodiments, the terminally hydroxylated alkene or alkyne is further converted to a terminal alkenal. The terminal alkenal can be obtained by chemically or enzymatically oxidizing the terminally hydroxylated alkene or alkyne. Alcohol oxidases, alcohol dehydrogenases, and alpha-dioxygenases can be used for the enzymatic oxidation. In certain embodiments, terminally hydroxylated alkenes and alkynes are useful as insect pheromones which modify insect behavior. In some embodiments, terminally hydroxylated alkenes and alkynes are useful intermediates for producing pheromones via acetylation or oxidation of the alcohol moiety.

II. Definitions

The following definitions and abbreviations are to be used for the interpretation of the invention. The term “invention” or “present invention” as used herein is a non-limiting term and is not intended to refer to any single embodiment but encompasses all possible embodiments.

As used herein, the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes,” “including,” “has,” “having, “contains,” “containing,” or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. A composition, mixture, process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited to only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such composition, mixture, process, method, article, or apparatus. Further, unless expressly stated to the contrary, “or” refers to an inclusive “or” and not to an exclusive “or.”

The terms “about” and “around,” as used herein to modify a numerical value, indicate a close range surrounding that explicit value. If “X” were the value, “about X” or “around X” would indicate a value from 0.9X to 1.1X, and more preferably, a value from 0.95X to 1.05X. Any reference to “about X” or “around X” specifically indicates at least the values X, 0.95X, 0.96X, 0.97X, 0.98X, 0.99X, 1.01X, 1.02X, 1.03X, 1.04X, and 1.05X. Thus, “about X” and “around X” are intended to teach and provide written description support for a claim limitation of, e.g., “0.98X.”

The terms “engineered heme enzyme” and “heme enzyme variant” include any heme-containing enzyme comprising at least one amino acid mutation with respect to wild-type and also include any chimeric protein comprising recombined sequences or blocks of amino acids from two, three, or more different heme-containing enzymes.

The terms “engineered cytochrome P450” and “cytochrome P450 variant” include any cytochrome P450 enzyme comprising at least one amino acid mutation with respect to wild-type and also include any chimeric protein comprising recombined sequences or blocks of amino acids from two, three, or more different cytochrome P450 enzymes.

The term “whole cell catalyst” includes microbial cells expressing hydroxylase enzymes, wherein the whole cell catalyst displays hydroxylation activity.

As used herein, the term “metathesis reaction” refers to a catalytic reaction which involves the interchange of alkylidene units (i.e., R₂C=units) among compounds containing one or more carbon-carbon double bonds (e.g., olefinic compounds) via the formation and cleavage of the carbon-carbon double bonds. Metathesis can occur between two like molecules (often referred to as self-metathesis) and/or between two different molecules (often referred to as cross-metathesis).

As used herein, the term “metathesis catalyst” refers to any catalyst or catalyst system that catalyzes a metathesis reaction. One of skill in the art will appreciate that a metathesis catalyst can participate in a metathesis reaction so as to increase the rate of the reaction, but is itself not consumed in the reaction.

As used herein, the term “metathesis product” refers to an olefin containing at least one double bond, the bond being formed via a metathesis reaction.

As used herein, the terms “microbial,” “microbial organism,” and “microorganism” include any organism that exists as a microscopic cell that is included within the domains of archaea, bacteria or eukarya. Therefore, the term is intended to encompass prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells or organisms having a microscopic size and includes bacteria, archaea, and eubacteria of all species as well as eukaryotic microorganisms such as yeast and fungi. Also included are cell cultures of any species that can be cultured for the production of a chemical.

As used herein, the term “non-naturally occurring”, when used in reference to a microbial organism or enzyme activity of the invention, is intended to mean that the microbial organism or enzyme has at least one genetic alteration not normally found in a naturally occurring strain of the referenced species, including wild-type strains of the referenced species. Genetic alterations include, for example, modifications introducing expressible nucleic acids encoding metabolic polypeptides, other nucleic acid additions, nucleic acid deletions and/or other functional disruption of the microbial organism's genetic material. Such modifications include, for example, coding regions and functional fragments thereof, for heterologous, homologous, or both heterologous and homologous polypeptides for the referenced species. Additional modifications include, for example, non-coding regulatory regions in which the modifications alter expression of a gene or operon. Exemplary non-naturally occurring microbial organism or enzyme activity includes the hydroxylation activity described above.

The term as it is used in reference to expression of an encoding nucleic acid refers to the introduction of the encoding nucleic acid in an expressible form into the microbial organism. When used in reference to a biosynthetic activity, the term refers to an activity that is introduced into the host reference organism.

The term “heterologous” as used herein with reference to molecules, and in particular enzymes and polynucleotides, indicates molecules that are expressed in an organism other than the organism from which they originated or are found in nature, independently of the level of expression that can be lower, equal or higher than the level of expression of the molecule in the native microorganism.

On the other hand, the terms “native” and/or “endogenous” as used herein with reference to molecules, and in particular enzymes and polynucleotides, indicate molecules that are expressed in the organism in which they originated or are found in nature, independently of the level of expression that can be lower equal or higher than the level of expression of the molecule in the native microorganism. It is to be understood that expression of native enzymes or polynucleotides may be modified in recombinant microorganisms.

The term “homolog,” as used herein with respect to an original enzyme or gene of a first family or species, refers to distinct enzymes or genes of a second family or species which are determined by functional, structural, or genomic analyses to be an enzyme or gene of the second family or species which corresponds to the original enzyme or gene of the first family or species. Homologs most often have functional, structural, or genomic similarities. Techniques are known by which homologs of an enzyme or gene can readily be cloned using genetic probes and PCR. Identity of cloned sequences as homologs can be confirmed using functional assays and/or by genomic mapping of the genes.

A protein has “homology” or is “homologous” to a second protein if the amino acid sequence encoded by a gene has a similar amino acid sequence to that of the second gene. Alternatively, a protein has homology to a second protein if the two proteins have “similar” amino acid sequences. Thus, the term “homologous proteins” is intended to mean that the two proteins have similar amino acid sequences. In certain instances, the homology between two proteins is indicative of its shared ancestry, related by evolution.

The terms “analog” and “analogous” include nucleic acid or protein sequences or protein structures that are related to one another in function only and are not from common descent or do not share a common ancestral sequence. Analogs may differ in sequence but may share a similar structure, due to convergent evolution. For example, two enzymes are analogs or analogous if the enzymes catalyze the same reaction of conversion of a substrate to a product, are unrelated in sequence, and irrespective of whether the two enzymes are related in structure.

As used herein, the term “alkane” refers to a straight or branched, saturated, aliphatic hydrocarbon having the number of carbon atoms indicated. The term “alkyl” refers to a straight or branched, saturated, aliphatic radical having the number of carbon atoms indicated. Alkyl can include any number of carbons, such as C₁₋₂, C₁₋₃, C₁₋₄, C₁₋₅, C₁₋₆, C₁₋₇, C₁₋₈, C₂₋₃, C₂₋₄, C₂₋₅, C₂₋₆, C₃₋₄, C₃₋₅, C₃₋₆, C₄₋₅, C₄₋₆ and C₅₋₆.

Alkenes and alkenyl groups can be optionally substituted with one or more moieties selected from halo, alkyl, and alkynyl.

As used herein, the term “selective” refers to preferential reaction of one site on a chemical compound over another site on the compound. As a non-limiting example, selectively hydroxylating hept-3-ene (an asymmetric alkene) refers to preferentially hydroxylating one end of the hept-3-ene to form more hept-3-en-1-ol than hept-4-en-1-ol (or forming exclusively hept-3-en-1-ol without forming hept-4-en-1-ol). Selectively hydroxylating the other end of hept-3-ene would result in the formation of more hept-4-en-1-ol than hept-3-en-1-ol (or the exclusive formation of hept-4-en-1-ol without formation of hept-3-en-1-ol).

Useful unsaturated fatty acids and related compounds can also be prepared using the olefinic alcohol products as intermediates. In such cases, the methods of the invention generally include oxidizing the olefinic alcohol product to form an olefinic acid product.

The synthetic strategies disclosed herein chiefly rely on the ability of hydroxylases to terminally hydroxylate hydrocarbon substrates such as linear alkenes. Linear alkenes and other hydrocarbon substrates can be synthesized via any route, including but not limited to olefin metathesis, Wittig olefination, or alkyne substitution followed by partial hydrogenation. The hydroxylation products can further be modified via any method, including—but not limited to—oxidation, esterification, and olefin metathesis, to produce the desired end products (Scheme 2). Deviations from this general scheme are also disclosed.

Synthesis of Terminal Alkenols Via Metathesis and Hydroxylation

In a first aspect, the invention provides a method for synthesizing an olefinic alcohol product that includes incubating an unsaturated hydrocarbon substrate with an enzyme capable of selectively hydroxylating one terminal carbon of the unsaturated hydrocarbon substrate to form an unsaturated hydrocarbon alcohol. In some embodiments, the unsaturated hydrocarbon alcohol is the olefinic alcohol product. In some embodiments, the method further includes converting the unsaturated hydrocarbon alcohol to the olefinic alcohol product. In some embodiments, the unsaturated hydrocarbon substrate is an olefinic substrate. In some embodiments, the olefinic substrate is a metathesis product.

Hydroxylation of Symmetric Alkenes

In some embodiments, the method for synthesizing an oxyfunctionalized alkene includes a combination of metathesis and terminal hydroxylation as shown in Scheme 3.

According to Scheme 3, an E-selective metathesis catalyst or a Z-selective metathesis catalyst is used to convert a linear, terminal alkene of chain length m to the respective linear symmetric alkene. Following the metathesis step, a terminal hydroxylation biocatalyst is used to convert the symmetric alkene to the terminal alkenol. Optionally, this scheme can be expanded by an additional metathesis step that replaces the non-hydroxylated end of the terminal alkenol with one of another chain length (Scheme 4a).

In some instances, Scheme 4a can be further modified to protect the alcohol prior to metathesis. For example, the alcohol can be esterified prior to the metathesis step (Scheme 4b). The esterification is typically performed with formate or acetate, resulting in R═H or CH₃, respectively. The ester intermediates or final products can be hydrolysed to yield alcohol products.

The methods can be conducted with alkenes of any suitable length, which will depend on factors such as the desired olefinic alcohol product and the enzyme used in the biohydroxylation step. In some embodiments, the olefinic alcohol product is a C4-C20 olefinic alcohol product. The olefinic alcohol can contain, for example, 4-20 carbon atoms, or 8-20 carbon atoms, or 12-20 carbon atoms, or 16-20 carbon atoms. In such embodiments, the sum of the subscripts m, n, and y shown in Scheme 3 and Scheme 4 will bring the total number of carbon atoms in a particular olefinic alcohol product to 4-20, when added to the number of the non-subscripted carbon atoms shown in the structure for the olefinic alcohol product. In such embodiments, for example, subscript m in Scheme 3 can be an integer from 0-8, bringing the total number of the carbons in the symmetric olefinic substrate to 4-20. When m is 3, the route depicted in Scheme 3 provides (E/Z)-5-decen-1-ol.

Accordingly, some embodiments of the invention provide methods for preparing an olefinic alcohol product as described above, wherein the olefinic substrate is a metathesis product, and wherein the method includes: a) self-metathesizing a terminal olefin in the presence of a metathesis catalyst to form the metathesis product; and b) incubating the metathesis product with an enzyme capable of selectively hydroxylating one terminal carbon of the metathesis product to form an olefinic alcohol product.

In some embodiments, the terminal olefin has the formula (CH₂═CH)(CH₂)_(m)H, the metathesis product has the formula H(CH₂)_(m)(CH═CH)(CH₂)_(m)H, the olefinic alcohol product has the formula H(CH₂)_(m)(CH═CH)(CH₂)_(m)OH, and m is selected from an integer between 1 and 17.

In some embodiments, the method for synthesizing an oxyfunctionalized alkene includes a combination of metathesis and terminal hydroxylation as shown in Scheme 5. In this process, terminal alkenes of different lengths are combined to generate asymmetric alkenes, which are then subjected to biohydroxylation conditions to afford the desired alkenol products.

Hydroxylation Catalysts

Various enzymes and/or whole cells comprising enzymes can be used to catalyze hydroxylation reactions described above.

Known enzyme families with terminal hydroxylation activity for medium and long chain alkanes and fatty acids include AlkB, CYP52, CYP153, and LadA (Bordeaux et al., 2012, Angew. Chem.-Int. Edit. 51: 10712-10723; Ji et al., 2013, Front. Microbiol. 4). For example, Malca et al. describe terminal hydroxylation of mono-unsaturated fatty acid by cytochromes P450 of the CYP153 family (Malca et al., 2012, Chemical Communications 48: 5115-5117). Weissbart et al. describe the terminal hydroxylation of various cis and trans unsaturated lauric acid analogs (Weissbart et al., 1992, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, Lipids and Lipid Metabolism 1124: 135-142). However, to date, none of these enzymes has been demonstrated to perform terminal hydroxylation of alkenes with internal olefins such as (E)-dec-5-ene. The presence of C═C bonds present competing sites of oxygen insertion and alters the 3-dimensional orientation of the molecule. The regioselectivity of these enzymes for the terminal C—H bond of alkanes and fatty acid substrate may not extend to alkenes with internal olefins for these reasons. For asymmetric substrates, obtaining hydroxylation at the desired terminal C—H bond presents additional challenges compared to symmetric substrates. Finally, controlling the reaction selectivity to produce a single terminal alcohol instead of α-ω diols, acids, or diacids is also a major concern.

In particular embodiments, the search for a terminal hydroxylase with activity for alkene with internal olefins starts with known terminal alkane and fatty acid hydroxylases.

There are four families of enzymes with reported terminal alkane and fatty acid hydroxylation activity: (1) methane monoxxygenases; (2) integral membrane diiron non-heme alkane hydroxylases (AlkB); (3) Cytochrome P450s (P450s); and (4) long chain alkane monoxygenases (LadA) (Bordeaux et al., 2012, Angew. Chem.-Int. Edit. 51: 10712-10723; Ji et al., 2013, Front. Microbiol. 4). Methane monooxygenases are difficult to express in heterologous non-methanotrophic hosts and generally prefer small substrate (<C4). Of the remaining three families, the substrate specificity based on substrate chain length of representative members is summarized below in Table 2.

In certain embodiments, depending on the chain length of the desired substrate, some members of these four enzyme families are better suited than others as candidates for evaluation. For C-10 substrates such as (E)-dec-5-ene, the substrate specificity of characterized CYP153 and AlkB enzymes makes them candidate enzymes. Likewise, for longer substrates such as (Z)-hexadec-11-ene, members of the LadA and CYP52 families appear to have the closest substrate profile.

The most widely characterized member of the AlkB family is obtained from the Alk system of Pseudomonas putida GPo1 (van Beilen and Funhoff, 2005, Curr. Opin. Biotechnol. 16: 308-314). In addition to the integral membrane diiron non-heme hydroxylase AlkB, a rubredoxin (AlkG) and a rubredoxin reductase (AlkT) are required for hydroxylation function. The entire Alk system of P. putida GPo1, alkBFGHJKL and alkST genes, which allows the strain to grown on alkanes as its sole carbon source, has been cloned into the broad host range vector pLAFR1 (pGEc47) and is available from DSMZ in the host E. Coli K12 Gec137 (Smits et al., 2001, Plasmid 46: 16-24). The other alk genes alkF, alkJ, alkH, alkK, alkL, and alkS encode an inactive rubredoxin, an alcohol dehydrogenase, an aldehyde dehydrogenase, an acyl-CoA synthase, an alkane transporter and a global pathway regulator, respectively (Smits et al., 2003, Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek 84: 193-200). These genes facilitate the use of the alcohol product from the AlkB reaction to generate the fatty acyl-CoA that is substrate for β-oxidation. To accumulate the alcohol product, a knockout strain of alkJ, E. coli GEC137 pGEc47ΔJ has been used in a whole-cell biotransformation to produce 1-dodecanol (Grant et al., 2011, Enzyme Microb. Technol. 48: 480-486). The presence of alkL appears to enhance substrate uptake and consequently improve the whole-cell activity for both Pseudomonas and E. coli (Cornelissen et al., 2013, Biotechnology and Bioengineering 110: 1282-1292; Julsing et al., 2012, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 78: 5724-5733; Scheps et al., 2013, Microb. Biotechnol. 6: 694-707). A simplified version of pGEc47 containing only alkBFGST in the broad-host range vector pCOM10, pBT10, has also been used for the conversion of fatty-acid methyl esters to ω-hydroxy fatty acid methyl esters in E. coli W3110 (Schrewe et al., 2011, Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis 353: 3485-3495).

CYP52 family members are membrane bound cytochrome P450s that require electron delivery from a reductase for function. CYP52 members have mainly been identified from alkane-degrading Candida species (Scheller et al., 1996, Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 328: 245-254; Craft et al., 2003, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 69: 5983-5991; Scheller et al., 1998, J. Biol. Chem. 273: 32528-32534; Seghezzi et al., 1992, DNA Cell Biol. 11: 767-780; Zimmer et al., 1996, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 224: 784-789). Thus far, expression and characterization of CYP52 enzymes have been performed in the native Candida host and other yeast hosts. Gene knockouts of (1) the β-oxidation pathways, (2) alcohol dehydrogenases and (3) select native CYP52s has resulted in strains that can accumulate ω-hydroxy fatty acids when fatty acids are fed to the culture (Lu et al., 2010, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 132: 15451-15455). Of particular interest, DP428, DP522 and DP526 are C. tropicalis strains expressing a single CYP52 with the appropriate knockouts for catalyzing terminal hydroxylation of fatty acids (Lu et al., 2010, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 132: 15451-15455).

CYP153 family members are soluble and membrane associated cytochrome P450s that also depend on electron transfer from ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase for function (Funhoff et al., 2007, Enzyme and Microbial Technology 40: 806-812). CYP153 members have been isolated from a range of alkane-degrading microorganisms. There are currently 56 annotated CYP153 sequences available from the Nelson P450 database, a BLAST search of CYP153A6 resulted in 221 identified homologs with >70% sequence identity. The use of CYP153 enzymes for terminal hydroxylation of octane and dodecanoic acid has been demonstrated with heterologous expression in E. coli. For the conversion of octane to octanol, the CYP153 operon from Mycobacterium sp. HXN-1500 was cloned into pET28b(+) and the biotransformation was performed in E. coli BL21(DE3) (Gudiminchi et al., 2012, Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 96: 1507-1516). For the conversion of dodecanoic acid, an E. coli HMS174 strain containing a fusion of a CYP153A_(M.aq.) mutant with the CYP102A1 reductase domain in pColaDuet-1 along with alkL was used for the transformation (Scheps et al., 2013, Microb. Biotechnol. 6: 694-707).

Long chain alkane monooxygenase, LadA, isolated from G. thermodemtrificants NG80-2 catalyzes the terminal hydroxylation of C15 to C36 alkanes with a metal-free flavoprotein mechanism that differs from AlkB and CYP enzymes (Dong et al., 2012, Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 94: 1019-1029). The LadA reaction requires FMNH₂ or NADPH and the native reductase partner has yet to be identified. Expression of the LadA gene in E. coli BL21 (DE3) using the pET-28a(+) plasmid yielded cell extracts with terminal hydroxylation activity for hexadecane (Dong et al., 2012, Appl. Microbial. Biotechnol. 94: 1019-1029). Literature reports of LadA hydroxylation reactions have been performed using purified enzymes and examples of whole-cell biotransformation is lacking.

Coding sequences for enzymes that may be used herein may be derived from bacterial, fungal, or plant sources. Tables 3, 4, and 5 list enzymes for coding regions of representative non-heme diiron alkane monooxygenases, long-chain alkane hydroxylases, and cytochromes P450, respectively. Additional enzymes and their coding sequences may be identified by BLAST searching of public databases. Typically, BLAST searching of publicly available databases with known non-heme diiron alkane monooxygenases, cytochromes P450, and long-chain alkane hydroxylase sequences, such as those provided herein, is used to identify enzymes and their encoding sequences that may be used in the present invention. For example, enzymes having amino acid sequence identities of at least about 80-85%, 85%-90%, 90%-95%, or about 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity to any of the enzymes listed in Tables 3, 4, and 5 may be used. Hydroxylase enzymes can be codon-optimized for expression in certain desirable host organisms, such as yeast and E. coli.

In other embodiments, the sequences of the enzymes provided herein may be used to identify other homologs in nature. For example, each of the encoding nucleic acid fragments described herein may be used to isolate genes encoding homologous proteins. Isolation of homologous genes using sequence-dependent protocols is well known in the art. Examples of sequence-dependent protocols include, but are not limited to, (1) methods of nucleic acid hybridization, (2) methods of DNA and RNA amplification, as exemplified by various uses of nucleic acid amplification technologies (e.g., polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Mullis et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,683,202; ligase chain reaction (LCR), Tabor, S. et al., Proc. Acad. Sci. USA 82:1074 (1985); or strand displacement amplification (SDA), Walker et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 89:392 (1992)), and (3) methods of library construction and screening by complementation.

Hydroxylase enzymes or whole cells expressing hydroxylase enzymes can be further engineered for use in the methods of the invention. Enzymes can be engineered for improved hydroxylation activity, improved Z:E selectivity, improved regioselectivity, improved selectivity for hydroxylation over epoxidation and/or improved selectivity for hydroxylation over dehalogenation. The term “improved hydroxylation activity” as used herein with respect to a particular enzymatic activity refers to a higher level of enzymatic activity than that measured in a comparable non-engineered hydroxylase enzyme of whole cells comprising a hydroxylase enzyme. For example, overexpression of a specific enzyme can lead to an increased level of activity in the cells for that enzyme. Mutations can be introduced into a hydroxylase enzyme resulting in engineered enzymes with improved hydroxylation activity. Methods to increase enzymatic activity are known to those skilled in the art. Such techniques can include increasing the expression of the enzyme by increasing plasmid copy number and/or use of a stronger promoter and/or use of activating riboswitches, introduction of mutations to relieve negative regulation of the enzyme, introduction of specific mutations to increase specific activity and/or decrease the KM for the substrate, or by directed evolution. See, e.g., Methods in Molecular Biology (vol. 231), ed. Arnold and Georgiou, Humana Press (2003).

Accordingly, some embodiments of the invention provide methods for synthesizing olefinic alcohol products as described above, wherein the enzyme is a non-heme diiron monooxygenase. In some embodiments, the non-heme diiron monooxygenase is selected from Table 3 or a variant thereof having at least 90% identity thereto.

The methods of the invention allow for the production of terminal alcohols with controlled regioselectivity, while disfavoring the formation of unwanted species such as epoxides or elimination products. The stereochemistry of an olefinic alcohol product will depend on factors including the structure of the particular olefinic substrate used in a particular reaction, as well as the identity of the enzyme. The methods of the invention can be conducted with enzymes that are selective for particular substrates (e.g., cis or Z alkenes vs. trans or E alkenes), as well as with enzymes that demonstrate terminal selectivity (e.g., hydroxylation of one end of an asymmetric alkene vs. the other end of the asymmetric alkene).

In certain instances, a hydroxylase enzyme will exhibit catalytic efficiency with one isomer of an internal alkene (e.g., the cis or Z isomer of an internal alkene) that is greater than the catalytic efficiency exhibited with the other isomer of the same internal alkene (e.g., the trans or E isomer of an internal alkene). In some embodiments, the invention provides methods wherein the catalytic efficiency of the hydroxylase enzyme is at least about 2-fold greater with one isomer of an internal alkene than with the other isomer of the internal alkene. The catalytic efficiency exhibited by a hydroxylase with one isomer of an internal alkene can be, for example, at least about 4-fold, at least about 5-fold, at least about 6-fold, at least about 7-fold, at least about 8-fold, at least about 9-fold, at least about 10-fold, at least about 25-fold, at least about 50-fold, at least about 100-fold, or at least about 500-fold greater than the catalytic efficiency exhibited by the hydroxylase with the other isomer of the internal alkene.

A particular enzyme can therefore produce Z product over E product from a mixture of Z and E isomeric substrates or enrich the Z product over the E product. In certain embodiments, the invention provides methods for preparing olefinic alcohol products wherein the Z:E (cis:trans) isomeric ratio of the olefinic alcohol product is different from the Z:E (cis:trans) isomeric ratio of the olefinic substrate. The Z:E isomeric ratio of the olefinic alcohol product can be, for example, around 2 times greater than the Z:E isomeric ratio of the olefinic substrate. The Z:E isomeric ratio of the olefinic alcohol product can be, for example, around 1.25 times, 1.5 times, 2 times, 2.5 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 10 times, 20 times, 30 times, or 40 times greater than the Z:E isomeric ratio of the olefinic substrate.

In some embodiments, the invention provides methods for preparing olefinic alcohol products wherein the E:Z (trans:cis) isomeric ratio of the olefinic alcohol product is different from the E:Z (trans:cis) isomeric ratio of the olefinic substrate. The E:Z isomeric ratio of the olefinic alcohol product can be, for example, around 2 times greater than the E:Z isomeric ratio of the olefinic substrate. The E:Z isomeric ratio of the olefinic alcohol product can be, for example, around 1.25 times, 1.5 times, 2 times, 2.5 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 10 times, 20 times, 30 times, or 40 times greater than the E:Z isomeric ratio of the olefinic substrate.

In some embodiments, the Z:E isomeric ratio of the olefinic alcohol is about 1.25 times greater than the Z:E isomeric ratio of the olefinic substrate. In some embodiments, the E:Z isomeric ratio of the olefinic alcohol is about 1.25 times greater than the E:Z isomeric ratio of the olefinic substrate.

In certain instances, the biohydroxylation reactions in the methods of the invention have the potential to form a mixture of two or more products from the same substrate. When an olefinic substrate is asymmetric, for example, hydroxylation of one end/terminus of the substrate leads to one product while hydroxylation of the other end/terminus of the substrate leads to a different product. A reaction could therefore result in a mixture of two olefinic alcohol products. The terminal isomer ratio of an asymmetric olefinic alcohol product can range from about 1:99 to about 99:1. The terminal isomer ratio can be, for example, from about 1:99 to about 1:75, or from about 1:75 to about 1:50, or from about 1:50 to about 1:25, or from about 99:1 to about 75:1, or from about 75:1 to about 50:1, or from about 50:1 to about 25:1. The terminal isomer ratio can be from about 1:80 to about 1:20, or from about 1:60 to about 1:40, or from about 80:1 to about 20:1 or from about 60:1 to about 40:1. The terminal isomer ratio can be about 1:5, 1:10, 1:15, 1:20, 1:25, 1:30, 1:35, 1:40, 1:45, 1:50, 1:55, 1:60, 1:65, 1:70, 1:75, 1:80, 1:85, 1:90, or about 1:95. The terminal isomer ratio can be about 5:1, 10:1, 15:1, 20:1, 25:1, 30:1, 35:1, 40:1, 45:1, 50:1, 55:1, 60:1, 65:1, 70:1, 75:1, 80:1, 85:1, 90:1, or about 95:1.

The distribution of a product mixture can be expressed as a regioselectivity percentage (“regioselectivity %”). Taking the reaction in FIG. 3 as a non-limiting example, for instance, the regioselectivity of (Z)-5-hexadecene hydroxylation can be calculated using the formula: regioselectivity %=[(χ₁₁)/(χ₁₁+χ₅)]×100%, wherein ω₁₁ is the mole fraction for (Z)-11-hexadecen-1-ol and wherein χ₅ is the mole fraction for (Z)-5-hexadecen-1-ol. In general, the regioselectivity % with respect to terminal alcohol isomers ranges from about 1% to about 99%. The regioselectivity % can be from about 1% to about 99%, or from about 20% to about 80%, or from about 40% to about 60%, or from about 1% to about 25%, or from about 25% to about 50%, or from about 50% to about 75%. The regioselectivity % can be at least about 5% 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%.

In some embodiments, the regioselectivity % is at least about 60%. In some embodiments, the regioselectivity % is at least about 60% and the Z:E isomeric ratio of the olefinic alcohol is about 1.25 times greater than the Z:E isomeric ratio of the olefinic substrate.

In certain instances, varying levels of olefin epoxidation will occur during the biohydroxylation reactions used in the methods of the invention. See, e.g., Scheme 7. Epoxidation of terminal alkenes, in particular, can occur when certain hydroxylase enzymes are used. It is often desirable to minimize such epoxidation or avoid the formation of epoxides altogether. Typically, methods of the invention are conducted with hydroxylase enzymes that produce product mixtures with alcohol product:epoxide ratios of at least 1:1. The alcohol product:epoxide ratio can range from about 1:1 to about 99:1. The alcohol:epoxide ratio can be, for example, from about 99:1 to about 75:1, or from about 75:1 to about 50:1, or from about 50:1 to about 25:1. The alcohol:epoxide ratio can be from about 80:1 to about 20:1 or from about 60:1 to about 40:1. The alcohol:epoxide ratio can be about 5:1, 10:1, 15:1, 20:1, 25:1, 30:1, 35:1, 40:1, 45:1, 50:1, 55:1, 60:1, 65:1, 70:1, 75:1, 80:1, 85:1, 90:1, or about 95:1.

In some embodiments, methods are conducted using an enzyme that produces an olefinic alcohol product:epoxide product ratio of greater than 1:1. In some embodiments, the enzyme produces an olefinic alcohol product:epoxide product ratio of greater than 2:1.

The distribution of a product mixture can be expressed as a percent selectivity for hydroxylation vs. epoxidation. Taking the reaction in Scheme 7a as a non-limiting example, the percent selectivity for hydroxylation vs. epoxidation of a terminal alkene can be calculated using the formula: selectivity %=[(χ_(H))/(χ_(H)+χ_(E))]×100%, wherein χ_(H) is the mole fraction for the hydroxylation product (i.e., the terminal olefinic alcohol) and wherein χ_(E) is the mole fraction for the epoxidation product (i.e., the terminal epoxide). In general, the percent selectivity for hydroxylation vs. epoxidation ranges from about 1% to about 99%. The percent selectivity for hydroxylation vs. epoxidation can be from about 1% to about 99%, or from about 20% to about 80%, or from about 40% to about 60%, or from about 1% to about 25%, or from about 25% to about 50%, or from about 50% to about 75%. The percent selectivity for hydroxylation vs. epoxidation can be about 5% 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%.

When halogen-substituted substrates are used in the methods of the invention, varying levels of dehalogenation can occur during hydroxylation. Dehalogenation typically results in the formation of aldehyde byproduct. Preferably, dehalogenation is minimized or avoided during the hydroxylation reactions. Typically, methods of the invention are conducted with hydroxylase enzymes that produce product mixtures with alcohol:aldehyde ratios of at least 1:1. The alcohol:aldehyde ratio of the product can range from about 1:1 to about 99:1. The alcohol:aldehyde ratio can be, for example, from about 99:1 to about 75:1, or from about 75:1 to about 50:1, or from about 50:1 to about 25:1. The alcohol:aldehyde ratio can be from about 80:1 to about 20:1 or from about 60:1 to about 40:1. The alcohol:aldehyde ratio can be about 5:1, 10:1, 15:1, 20:1, 25:1, 30:1, 35:1, 40:1, 45:1, 50:1, 55:1, 60:1, 65:1, 70:1, 75:1, 80:1, 85:1, 90:1, or about 95:1.

The distribution of a product mixture can be expressed as a percent selectivity for hydroxylation vs. dehalogenation. The percent selectivity for hydroxylation vs. dehalogenation of a halogen-substituted substrate can be calculated using the formula: selectivity %=[(χ_(H))/(χ_(H)+χ_(A))]×100%, wherein χ_(H) is the mole fraction for the hydroxylation product and wherein χ_(A) is the mole fraction for the aldehyde product. In general, the percent selectivity for hydroxylation vs. dehalogenation ranges from about 1% to about 99%. The percent selectivity for hydroxylation vs. dehalogenation can be from about 1% to about 99%, or from about 20% to about 80%, or from about 40% to about 60%, or from about 1% to about 25%, or from about 25% to about 50%, or from about 50% to about 75%. The percent selectivity for hydroxylation vs. dehalogenation can be about 5% 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%.

Synthesis of Terminal Alkenals

As indicated above, the alcohol moiety generated via hydroxylation can be further modified to generate alkenals or acetate esters.

Oxidation of Fatty Alcohols

Oxidation of fatty alcohols is often achieved via selective oxidation via pyridinium chlorocrhomate (PCC) (Scheme 20).

Alternatively, TEMPO (TEMPO=2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-N-oxyl) and related catalyst systems can be used to selectively oxidize alcohols to aldehydes. These methods are described in Ryland and Stahl (2014), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Bio-Oxidation of Terminal Alcohols

Many insect pheromones are fatty aldehydes or comprise a fatty aldehyde component. As such, the conversion of the fatty alcohol produced via terminal hydroxylation to the fatty aldehyde is required to produce certain pheromones. The conversion of a fatty alcohol to a fatty aldehyde is known to be catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) and alcohol oxidases (AOX). Additionally, the conversion of a length C_(n) fatty acid to a C_(n-1) fatty aldehyde is catalyzed by plant α-dioxygenases (α-DOX) (Scheme 21).

The present invention describes enzymes that oxidize fatty alcohols to fatty aldehydes.

In some embodiments, an alcohol oxidase (AOX) is used to catalyze the conversion of a fatty alcohol to a fatty aldehyde. Alcohol oxidases catalyze the conversion of alcohols into corresponding aldehydes (or ketones) with electron transfer via the use of molecular oxygen to form hydrogen peroxide as a by-product. AOX enzymes utilize flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as an essential cofactor and regenerate with the help of oxygen in the reaction medium. Catalase enzymes may be coupled with the AOX to avoid accumulation of the hydrogen peroxide via catalytic conversion into water and oxygen.

Based on the substrate specificities, AOXs may be categorized into four groups: (a) short chain alcohol oxidase, (b) long chain alcohol oxidase, (c) aromatic alcohol oxidase, and (d) secondary alcohol oxidase (Goswami et al. 2013). Depending on the chain length of the desired substrate, some member of these four groups are better suited than others as candidates for evaluation.

Short chain alcohol oxidases (including but not limited to those currently classified as EC 1.1.3.13, Table 7) catalyze the oxidation of lower chain length alcohol substrates in the range of C1-C8 carbons (van der Klei et al. 1991) (Ozimek et al. 2005). Aliphatic alcohol oxidases from methylotrophic yeasts such as Candida boidinii and Komagataella pastoris (formerly Pichia pastoris) catalyze the oxidation of primary alkanols to the corresponding aldehydes with a preference for unbranched short-chain aliphatic alcohols. The most broad substrate specificity is found for alcohol oxidase from the Pichia pastoris including propargyl alcohol, 2-chloroethanol, 2-cyanoethanol (Dienys et al. 2003). The major challenge encountered in alcohol oxidation is the high reactivity of the aldehyde product. Utilization of a two liquid phase system (water/solvent) can provide in-situ removal of the aldehyde product from the reaction phase before it is further converted to the acid. For example, hexanal production from hexanol using Pichia pastoris alcohol oxidase coupled with bovine liver catalase was achieved in a bi-phasic system by taking advantage of the presence of a stable alcohol oxidase in aqueous phase (Karra-Chaabouni et al. 2003). For example, alcohol oxidase from Pichia pastoris was able to oxidize aliphatic alcohols of C6 to C11 when used biphasic organic reaction system (Murray and Duff 1990). Methods for using alcohol oxidases in a biphasic system according to (Karra-Chaabouni et al. 2003) and (Murray and Duff 1990) are incorporated by reference in their entirety.

Long chain alcohol oxidases (including but not limited to those currently classified as EC 1.1.3.20; Table 8) include fatty alcohol oxidases, long chain fatty acid oxidases, and long chain fatty alcohol oxidases that oxidize alcohol substrates with carbon chain length of greater than six (Goswami et al. 2013). Banthorpe et al. reported a long chain alcohol oxidase purified from the leaves of Tanacetum vulgare that was able to oxidize saturated and unsaturated long chain alcohol substrates including hex-trans-2-en-1-ol and octan-1-ol (Banthorpe 1976) (Cardemil 1978). Other plant species, including Simmondsia chinensis (Moreau, R. A., Huang 1979), Arabidopsis thaliana (Cheng et al. 2004), and Lotus japonicas (Zhao et al. 2008) have also been reported as sources of long chain alcohol oxidases. Fatty alcohol oxidases are mostly reported from yeast species (Hommel and Ratledge 1990) (Vanhanen et al. 2000) (Hommel et al. 1994) (Kemp et al. 1990) and these enzymes play an important role in long chain fatty acid metabolism (Cheng et al. 2005). Fatty alcohol oxidases from yeast species that degrade and grow on long chain alkanes and fatty acid catalyze the oxidation of fatty alcohols. Fatty alcohol oxidase from Candida tropicalis has been isolated as microsomal cell fractions and characterized for a range of substrates (Eirich et al. 2004) (Kemp et al. 1988) (Kemp et al. 1991) (Mauersberger et al. 1992). Significant activity is observed for primary alcohols of length C₈ to C₁₆ with reported KM in the 10-50 μM range (Eirich et al. 2004). Alcohol oxidases described may be used for the conversion of medium chain aliphatic alcohols to aldehydes as described, for example, for whole-cells Candida boidinii (Gabelman and Luzio 1997), and Pichia pastoris (Duff and Murray 1988) (Murray and Duff 1990). Long chain alcohol oxidases from filamentous fungi were produced during growth on hydrocarbon substrates (Kumar and Goswami 2006) (Savitha and Ratledge 1991). The long chain fatty alcohol oxidase (LjFAO1) from Lotus japonicas has been heterologously expressed in E. coli and exhibited broad substrate specificity for alcohol oxidation including 1-dodecanol and 1-hexadecanol (Zhao et al. 2008).

In some embodiments, an alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH, Table 9) is used to catalyze the conversion of a fatty alcohol to a fatty aldehyde. A number of ADHs identified from alkanotrophic organisms, Pseudomonas fluorescens NRRL B-1244 (Hou et al. 1983), Pseudomonas butanovora ATCC 43655 (Vangnai and Arp 2001), and Acinetobacter sp. strain M-1 (Tani et al. 2000), have shown to be active on short to medium-chain alkyl alcohols (C₂ to C₁₄). Additionally, commercially available ADHs from Sigma, Horse liver ADH and Baker's yeast ADH have detectable activity for substrates with length C₁₀ and greater. The reported activities for the longer fatty alcohols may be impacted by the difficulties in solubilizing the substrates. For the yeast ADH from Sigma, little to no activity is observed for C₁₂ to C₁₄ aldehydes by (Tani et al. 2000), however, activity for C₁₂ and C₁₆ hydroxy-ω-fatty acids has been observed (Lu et al. 2010). Recently, two ADHs were characterized from Geobacillus thermodenitrificans NG80-2, an organism that degrades C₁₅ to C₃₆ alkanes using the LadA hydroxylase. Activity was detected from methanol to 1-triacontanol (C₃₀) for both ADHs, with 1-octanol being the preferred substrate for ADH2 and ethanol for ADH1 (Liu et al. 2009).

The use of ADHs in whole-cell bioconversions has been mostly focused on the production of chiral alcohols from ketones (Ernst et al. 2005) (Schroer et al. 2007). Using the ADH from Lactobacillus brevis and coupled cofactor regeneration with isopropanol, Schroer et al. reported the production of 797 g of (R)-methyl-3 hydroxybutanoate from methyl acetoacetate, with a space time yield of 29 g/L/h (Schroer et al. 2007). Examples of aliphatic alcohol oxidation in whole-cell transformations have been reported with commercially obtained S. cerevisiae for the conversion of hexanol to hexanal (Presecki et al. 2012) and 2-heptanol to 2-heptanone (Cappaert and Larroche 2004).

In some embodiments, an α-dioxygenase is used to catalyze the conversion of a fatty acid to a fatty aldehyde (Hamberg et al. 2005). Alpha-dioxygenases catalyze the conversion of a C_(n) fatty acid to a C_(n-1) aldehyde and may serve as an alternative to both ADH and AOX for fatty aldehyde production if a fatty acid is used as a biotransformation substrate. Due to the chain shortening of the dioxygenase reaction, this route requires a different synthesis pathway compared to the ADH and AOX routes. Biotransformations of E. coli cells expressing a rice α-dioxygenase exhibited conversion of C10, C12, C14 and C16 fatty acids to the corresponding C_(n-1) aldehydes. With the addition of the detergent Triton X 100, 3.7 mM of pentadecanal (0.8 g/L) was obtained after 3 hours from hexadecanoic acid with 74% conversion (Kaehne et al. 2011). Exemplary α-dioxygenases are shown in Table 10.

An enzyme's total turnover number (or TTN) refers to the maximum number of molecules of a substrate that the enzyme can convert before becoming inactivated. In general, the TTN for the hydroxylases and other enzymes used in the methods of the invention range from about 1 to about 100,000 or higher. For example, the TTN can be from about 1 to about 1,000, or from about 1,000 to about 10,000, or from about 10,000 to about 100,000, or from about 50,000 to about 100,000, or at least about 100,000. In particular embodiments, the TTN can be from about 100 to about 10,000, or from about 10,000 to about 50,000, or from about 5,000 to about 10,000, or from about 1,000 to about 5,000, or from about 100 to about 1,000, or from about 250 to about 1,000, or from about 100 to about 500, or at least about 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 3500, 4000, 4500, 5000, 5500, 6000, 6500, 7000, 7500, 8000, 8500, 9000, 9500, 10,000, 15,000, 20,000, 25,000, 30,000, 35,000, 40,000, 45,000, 50,000, 55,000, 60,000, 65,000, 70,000, 75,000, 80,000, 85,000, 90,000, 95,000, 100,000, or more.

When whole cells expressing a hydroxylase are used to carry out a hydroxylation reaction, the turnover can be expressed as the amount of substrate that is converted to product by a given amount of cellular material. In general, in vivo hydroxylation reactions exhibit turnovers from at least about 0.01 to at least about 10 mmol·g_(cdw) ⁻¹, wherein g_(cdw) is the mass of cell dry weight in grams. When whole cells expressing a hydroxylase are used to carry out a hydroxylation reaction, the activity can further be expressed as a specific productivity, e.g., concentration of product formed by a given concentration of cellular material per unit time, e.g., in g/L of product per g/L of cellular material per hour (g g_(cdw) ⁻¹h⁻¹). In general, in vivo hydroxylation reactions exhibit specific productivities from at least about 0.01 to at least about 0.5 g·g_(cdw) ⁻¹h⁻¹, wherein g_(cdw) is the mass of cell dry weight in grams.

The TTN for heme enzymes, in particular, typically ranges from about 1 to about 100,000 or higher. For example, the TTN can be from about 1 to about 1,000, or from about 1,000 to about 10,000, or from about 10,000 to about 100,000, or from about 50,000 to about 100,000, or at least about 100,000. In particular embodiments, the TTN can be from about 100 to about 10,000, or from about 10,000 to about 50,000, or from about 5,000 to about 10,000, or from about 1,000 to about 5,000, or from about 100 to about 1,000, or from about 250 to about 1,000, or from about 100 to about 500, or at least about 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 3500, 4000, 4500, 5000, 5500, 6000, 6500, 7000, 7500, 8000, 8500, 9000, 9500, 10,000, 15,000, 20,000, 25,000, 30,000, 35,000, 40,000, 45,000, 50,000, 55,000, 60,000, 65,000, 70,000, 75,000, 80,000, 85,000, 90,000, 95,000, 100,000, or more.

In general, in vivo hydroxylation reactions exhibit specific productivities from at least about 0.01 to at least about 0.5 g·g_(cdw) ⁻¹h⁻¹, wherein g_(cdw) is the mass of cell dry weight in grams. For example, the specific productivity can be from about 0.01 to about 0.1 g·g_(cdw) ⁻¹h⁻¹, or from about 0.1 to about 0.5 g·g_(cdw) ⁻¹h⁻¹, or greater than 0.5 g·g_(cdw) ⁻¹h⁻¹. The specific productivity can be about 0.01, 0.015, 0.02, 0.025, 0.03, 0.035, 0.04, 0.045, 0.05, 0.055, 0.06, 0.065, 0.07, 0.075, 0.08, 0.085, 0.09, 0.095, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45, or about 0.5 g·g_(cdw) ⁻¹h⁻¹.

In certain embodiments, mutations can be introduced into the target gene using standard cloning techniques (e.g., site-directed mutagenesis) or by gene synthesis to produce the hydroxylases (e.g., cytochrome P450 variants) of the present invention. The mutated gene can be expressed in a host cell (e.g., bacterial cell) using an expression vector under the control of an inducible promoter or by means of chromosomal integration under the control of a constitutive promoter.

One of skill in the art will understand how to convert wt % values to mol % values with respect to the hydroxylase and/or substrate concentrations set forth herein.

If the hydroxylase catalyses the reaction within a cell expressing the hydroxylase then any suitable amount of cells can be used in the methods of the invention. In general, hydroxylation whole-cell reaction mixtures contain from about 1 weight % to about 10,000 wt % of cells on a cell dry weight basis with respect to the hydrocarbon substrate. The whole-cell reaction mixtures can contain, for example, from about 1 wt % to about 10 wt % cells, or from about 10 wt % to about 100 wt % cells, or from about 100 wt % to about 1000 wt % cells, or from about 1000 wt % cells to about 2500 wt % cells, or from about 2500 wt % cells to about 5000 wt % cells, or from about 5000 wt % cells to about 7500 wt % cells, or from about 7500 wt % cells to about 10000 wt % cells with respect to the hydrocarbon substrate. The whole-cell reaction mixtures can contain from about 2 wt % to about 1000 wt % cells, or from about 5 wt % to about 500 wt % cells with respect to the hydrocarbon substrate. The whole-cell reaction mixtures can contain about 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, or about 1000 wt % cells with respect to the hydrocarbon substrate.

The concentration of a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon substrate is typically in the range of from about 100 μM to about 1 M. The concentration can be, for example, from about 100 μM to about 1 mM, or about from 1 mM to about 100 mM, or from about 100 mM to about 500 mM, or from about 500 mM to 1 M.

The concentration of the saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon substrate can be, for example, about 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, or 900 μM. The concentration of the saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon substrate can be about 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, or 500 mM.

Reaction mixtures can contain additional reagents. As non-limiting examples, the reaction mixtures can contain buffers (e.g., 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid (MES), 2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazin-1-yl]ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), 3-morpholinopropane-1-sulfonic acid (MOPS), 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-propane-1,3-diol (TRIS), potassium phosphate, sodium phosphate, phosphate-buffered saline, sodium citrate, sodium acetate, and sodium borate), cosolvents (e.g., dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide, ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, glycerol, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, acetonitrile, and acetic acid), salts (e.g., NaCl, KCl, CaCl₂), and salts of Mn²⁺ and Mg²⁺), denaturants (e.g., urea and guandinium hydrochloride), detergents (e.g., sodium dodecylsulfate and Triton-X 100), chelators (e.g., ethylene glycol-bis(2-aminoethylether)-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), 2-({2-[Bis(carboxymethyl)amino]ethyl}(carboxymethyl)amino)acetic acid (EDTA), and 1,2-bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA)), sugars (e.g., glucose, sucrose, and the like), and reducing agents (e.g., sodium dithionite, NADPH, dithiothreitol (DTT), β-mercaptoethanol (BME), and tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP)). Buffers, cosolvents, salts, denaturants, detergents, chelators, sugars, and reducing agents can be used at any suitable concentration, which can be readily determined by one of skill in the art. In general, buffers, cosolvents, salts, denaturants, detergents, chelators, sugars, and reducing agents, if present, are included in reaction mixtures at concentrations ranging from about 1 μM to about 1 M. For example, a buffer, a cosolvent, a salt, a denaturant, a detergent, a chelator, a sugar, or a reducing agent can be included in a reaction mixture at a concentration of about 1 μM, or about 10 μM, or about 100 μM, or about 1 mM, or about 10 mM, or about 25 mM, or about 50 mM, or about 100 mM, or about 250 mM, or about 500 mM, or about 1 M. Cosolvents, in particular, can be included in the reaction mixtures in amounts ranging from about 1% v/v to about 75% v/v, or higher. A cosolvent can be included in the reaction mixture, for example, in an amount of about 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50% (v/v).

Reactions are conducted under conditions sufficient to catalyze the formation of a hydroxylation product. The reactions can be conducted at any suitable temperature. In general, the reactions are conducted at a temperature of from about 4° C. to about 40° C. The reactions can be conducted, for example, at about 25° C. or about 37° C. The reactions can be conducted at any suitable pH. In general, the reactions are conducted at a pH of from about 3 to about 10. The reactions can be conducted, for example, at a pH of from about 6.5 to about 9. The reactions can be conducted for any suitable length of time. In general, the reaction mixtures are incubated under suitable conditions for anywhere between about 1 minute and several hours. The reactions can be conducted, for example, for about 1 minute, or about 5 minutes, or about 10 minutes, or about 30 minutes, or about 1 hour, or about 2 hours, or about 4 hours, or about 8 hours, or about 12 hours, or about 24 hours, or about 48 hours, or about 72 hours, or about 96 hours, or about 120 hours, or about 144 hours, or about 168 hours, or about 192 hours. In general, reactions are conducted under aerobic conditions. In some embodiments, the solvent forms a second phase, and the hydroxylation occurs in the aqueous phase. In some embodiments, the hydroxylases is located in the aqueous layer whereas the substrates and/or products occur in an organic layer. Other reaction conditions may be employed in the methods of the invention, depending on the identity of a particular hydroxylase, or olefinic substrate.

Reactions can be conducted in vivo with intact cells expressing a hydroxylase of the invention. The in vivo reactions can be conducted with any of the host cells used for expression of the hydroxylases, as described herein. A suspension of cells can be formed in a suitable medium supplemented with nutrients (such as mineral micronutrients, glucose and other fuel sources, and the like). Hydroxylation yields from reactions in vivo can be controlled, in part, by controlling the cell density in the reaction mixtures. Cellular suspensions exhibiting optical densities ranging from about 0.1 to about 50 at 600 nm can be used for hydroxylation reactions. Other densities can be useful, depending on the cell type, specific hydroxylases, or other factors.

Pheromone Compositions and Uses Thereof

As described above, many of the olefinic alcohol products made via the methods described herein are pheromones. Pheromones prepared according to the methods of the invention can be formulated for use as insect control compositions. The pheromone compositions can include a carrier, and/or be contained in a dispenser. The carrier can be, but is not limited to, an inert liquid or solid.

Examples of solid carriers include but are not limited to fillers such as kaolin, bentonite, dolomite, calcium carbonate, talc, powdered magnesia, Fuller's earth, wax, gypsum, diatomaceous earth, rubber, plastic, silica and China clay. Examples of liquid carriers include, but are not limited to, water; alcohols, such as ethanol, butanol or glycol, as well as their ethers or esters, such as methylglycol acetate; ketones, such as acetone, cyclohexanone, methylethyl ketone, methylisobutylketone, or isophorone; alkanes such as hexane, pentane, or heptanes; aromatic hydrocarbons, such as xylenes or alkyl naphthalenes; mineral or vegetable oils; aliphatic chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as trichloroethane or methylene chloride; aromatic chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes; water-soluble or strongly polar solvents such as dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, or N-methylpyrrolidone; liquefied gases; and mixtures thereof. Baits or feeding stimulants can also be added to the carrier.

Pheromone compositions can be formulated so as to provide slow release into the atmosphere, and/or so as to be protected from degradation following release. For example, the pheromone compositions can be included in carriers such as microcapsules, biodegradable flakes and paraffin wax-based matrices.

Pheromone compositions can contain other pheromones or attractants provided that the other compounds do not substantially interfere with the activity of the composition. The pheromone compositions can also include insecticides. Examples of suitable insecticides include, but are not limited to, buprofezin, pyriproxyfen, flonicamid, acetamiprid, dinotefuran, clothianidin, acephate, malathion, quinolphos, chloropyriphos, profenophos, bendiocarb, bifenthrin, chlorpyrifos, cyfluthrin, diazinon, pyrethrum, fenpropathrin, kinoprene, insecticidal soap or oil, and mixtures thereof.

Pheromone compositions can be used in conjuction with a dispenser for release of the composition in a particular environment. Any suitable dispenser known in the art can be used. Examples of such dispensers include but are not limited to bubble caps comprising a reservoir with a permeable barrier through which pheromones are slowly released, pads, beads, tubes rods, spirals or balls composed of rubber, plastic, leather, cotton, cotton wool, wood or wood products that are impregnated with the pheromone composition. For example, polyvinyl chloride laminates, pellets, granules, ropes or spirals from which the pheromone composition evaporates, or rubber septa. One of skill in the art will be able to select suitable carriers and/or dispensers for the desired mode of application, storage, transport or handling.

A variety of pheromones, including those set forth in Table 1 can be prepared according to the methods of the invention and formulated as described above. For example, the methods of the invention can be used to prepare peach twig borer (PTB) sex pheromone, which is a mixture of (E)-dec-5-en-1-ol (17%) and (E)-dec-5-en-1-yl acetate (83%). The PTB sex pheromone can be used in conjunction with a sustained pheromone release device having a polymer container containing a mixture of the PTB sex pheromone and a fatty acid ester (such as a sebacate, laurate, palmitate, stearate or arachidate ester) or a fatty alcohol (such as undecanol, dodecanol, tridecanol, tridecenol, tetradecanol, tetradecenol, tetradecadienol, pentadecanol, pentadecenol, hexadecanol, hexadecenol, hexadecadienol, octadecenol and octadecadienol). The polymer container can be a tube, an ampul, or a bag made of a polyolefin or an olefin component-containing copolymer. Sex pheromones of other pest insects such the cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), fall army worm (Spodoptera frugiperda), oriental fruit moth (Grapholita molesta) and leaf roller (Tortricidae) can be used in this type of sustained pheromone release device. The sex pheromones typically include one or more aliphatic acetate compounds having from 10 to 16 carbon atoms (e.g., decyl acetate, decenyl acetate, decadienyl acetate, undecyl acetate, undecenyl acetate, dodecyl acetate, dodecenyl acetate, dodecadienyl acetate, tridecyl acetate, tridecenyl acetate, tridecadienyl acetate, tetradecyl acetate, tetradecenyl acetate, tetradecadienyl acetate, and the like) and/or one or more aliphatic aldehyde compounds having from 10 to 16 carbon atoms (e.g., 7-hexadecenal, 11-hexadecenal, 13-octadecenal, and the like).

Pheromones prepared according to the methods of the invention, as well as compositions containing the pheromones, can be used to control the behavior and/or growth of insects in various environments. The pheromones can be used, for example, to attract or repel male or female insects to or from a particular target area. The pheromones can be used to attract insects away from vulnerable crop areas. The pheromones can also be used example to attract insects as part of a strategy for insect monitoring, mass trapping, lure/attract-and-kill or mating disruption.

Mass trapping involves placing a high density of traps in a crop to be protected so that a high proportion of the insects are removed before the crop is damaged. Lure/attract-and-kill techniques are similar except once the insect is attracted to a lure, it is subjected to a killing agent. Where the killing agent is an insecticide, a dispenser can also contain a bait or feeding stimulant that will entice the insects to ingest an effective amount of the insecticide.

It will be appreciated by a person skilled in the art that a variety of different traps are possible. Suitable examples of such traps include water traps, sticky traps, and one-way traps. Sticky traps come in many varieties. One example of a sticky trap is of cardboard construction, triangular or wedge-shaped in cross-section, where the interior surfaces are coated with a non-drying sticky substance. The insects contact the sticky surface and are caught. Water traps include pans of water and detergent that are used to trap insects. The detergent destroys the surface tension of the water, causing insects that are attracted to the pan, to drown in the water. One-way traps allow an insect to enter the trap but prevent it from exiting. The traps of the invention can be colored brightly, to provide additional attraction for the insects.

The trap is positioned in an area infested (or potentially infested) with insects. Generally, the trap is placed on or close to a tree or large plant. The aroma of the pheromone attracts the insects to the trap. The insects can then be caught, immobilised and/or killed within the trap, for example, by the killing agent present in the trap.

Pheromones prepared according to the methods of the invention can also be used to disrupt mating. Strategies of mating disruption include confusion, trail-masking and false-trail following. Constant exposure of insects to a high concentration of a pheromone can prevent male insects from responding to normal levels of the pheromone released by female insects. Trail-masking uses a pheromone to destroy the trail of pheromones released by females. False-trail following is carried out by laying numerous spots of a pheromone in high concentration to present the male with many false trails to follow. When released in sufficiently high quantities, the male insects are unable to find the natural source of the sex pheromones (the female insects) so that mating cannot occur.

Insect populations can be surveyed or monitored by counting the number of insects in a target area (e.g., the number of insects caught in a trap). Inspection by a horticulturist can provide information about the life stage of a population. Knowing where insects are, how many of them there are, and their life stage enables informed decisions to be made as to where and when insecticides or other treatments are warranted. For example, a discovery of a high insect population can necessitate the use of methods for removal of the insect. Early warning of an infestation in a new habitat can allow action to be taken before the population becomes unmanageable. Conversely, a discovery of a low insect population can lead to a decision that it is sufficient to continue monitoring the population. Insect populations can be monitored regularly so that the insects are only controlled when they reach a certain threshold. This provides cost-effective control of the insects and reduces the environmental impact of the use of insecticides.

As will be apparent to one of skill in the art, the amount of a pheromone or pheromone composition used for a particular application can vary depending on several factors such as the type and level of infestation; the type of composition used; the concentration of the active components; how the composition is provided, for example, the type of dispenser used; the type of location to be treated; the length of time the method is to be used for; and environmental factors such as temperature, wind speed and direction, rainfall and humidity. Those of skill in the art will be able to determine an effective amount of a pheromone or pheromone composition for use in a given application.

EXAMPLES

The present invention will be described in greater detail by way of specific examples. The following examples are offered for illustrative purposes, and are not intended to limit the invention in any manner. Those of skill in the art will readily recognize a variety of noncritical parameters which can be changed or modified to yield essentially the same results.

General Methods.

E. coli heat shock transformation: Heat shock transformation of plasmids/Gibson assembly products/ligation products were performed with competent BL21 (DE3) cells from NEB (C2527H). Set a water bath to 42° C. and remove the SOC media from storage at 4° C. and incubate at 37° C. Remove chemically competent cells from the −80° C. freezer and thaw on ice for 5-10 minutes. Add the DNA solution to be transformed to the cells and tap the tube gently to mix, keep the mixture on ice for 5 more minutes. Submerge the tube containing the cell/DNA mixture in the 42° C. water bath for 10 seconds and quickly place the tubes back on ice for 2 minutes. After the two minute incubation on ice, add 500 μl of SOC recovery media and incubate at 37° C. with 210 rpm shaking for 60 minutes. After incubation, 50-200 μl of the recovered cells are plated on LB/agar plates supplemented with the appropriate antibiotics.

E. coli plasmid isolation: Plasmid isolation of 2.5 ml overnight culture were performed with the SpinSmart™ Plasmid Miniprep DNA Purification kit (Danville Scientific). The overnight culture is collected by centrifugation at 14,000 rpm for 10 minutes. Resuspend the pellet in 250 μl of P1 buffer and transfer the mixture to a 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube. Add 250 μl of P2 buffer and mix by inverting the tube. Add 300 μl of P3 buffer and mix by inverting the tube. Centrifuge the mixture at 14,000 rpm for 5 minutes and transfer the supernatant containing DNA onto a fresh plasmid binding spin column. Bind DNA onto the column by centrifugation at 14,000 rpm for 30 seconds, followed by washes with 500 μl of P4 wash buffer and 650 μl of P5 wash buffer. Dry the column by centrifugation at 14,000 rpm for 2 minutes and then discard the collection tube. Place the plasmid binding spind column in a 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube. Add 50 μl of warm DI water (50° C.) and centrifuge at 14000 rpm to elute the DNA.

E. coli DNA isolation: DNA fragment isolation from agarose gel was performed with the Zymoclean Gel DNA Recovery Kits (Zymo research). Excise the desired gel fragment using a razor blade and transfer it to a 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube. Add 250 μl of ADB to the tube and incubate at 50° C. for 5 to 10 minutes until the gel slice is dissolved. Transfer the melted agarose solution to a Zymo-spin™ column in a collection tube, centrifuge for 30-60 seconds and discard the flow through. Wash the column with 200 μl of DNA wash buffer and centrifuge for 30 seconds. Repeat the wash step. Dry the column by centrifugation at 14,000 rpm for 2 minutes. Place the Zymo-spin™ column in a 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube. Add 12 μl of warm DI water (50° C.) and centrifuge at 14000 rpm to elute DNA.

PCR: PCR reactions were performed using Phusion High-Fidelity PCR Master Mix with HF Buffer (NEB: M0531S). In a typical 25 μl PCR reaction, 0.5 μl of the template DNA (plasmid, PCR product, synthesized DNA, etc) is mixed with 1.25 μl of each of the forward and reverse primers (10 mM) along with 0.75 μl of DMSO, 12.5 μl of the Phusion master mix and 8.75 μl of DI water. A typical thermocycler program consists of the follow steps:

Temperature Time Step (° C.) (s) 1 98 30 2 98 10 Repeat 3 55 10 25X 4 72 50 5 72 600 6 10 ∞

SOE-PCR: A typical 50 μl reaction contains (1) 0.5 to 3 μl of each isolated DNA fragment being spliced (2) 2.5 μl of each the forward and reverse primers (10 mM), (3) 1.5 μl of DMSO, (4) 25 μl of Phusion master mix and (5) enough DI water to reach a final total volume of 50 μl. The thermocycler program is modified from that of table # by extending the time of step 3 to 20 seconds.

E. coli biotransformations: Each E. coli strain expressing a terminal hydroxylase as well as the necessary redox partners was cultured in shake flasks to produce cell mass and induce protein expression. At the end of the protein expression phase, the cells were collected by centrifugation and washed with the bioconversion buffer. The washed cells were resuspended in bioconversion buffer to yield a cell density of ˜100 g cell wet weight (g cww)/L. A volume of 1 ml of this cell mixture was transferred to a 20 ml amber vial. The bioconversion was initiated by the addition of 200 μl of a 50/50 (v/v) mixture of substrate and isopropyl alcohol. For E/Z-5-decene and 1-bromodecane, the reactions were quenched after 1 hour with the addition of 100 μl 3 M HCl and analyzed for product formation with GC/FID. For 1-dodecene, 1-dodecyne, and hexadecane, the reactions were quenched after 4 hours with HCl and analyzed with GC/FID.

Example 1. Synthesis of Peach Twig Borer (PTB) Sex Pheromone Using Biocatalytic Terminal Hydroxylation

The PTB pheromone is a mixture of (E)-dec-5-en-1-ol (17%) and (E)-dec-5-en-1-yl acetate (83%). Using a terminal hydroxylase described in Table 3, 4, or 5, (E)-dec-5-ene can be readily converted into (E)-dec-5-en-1-ol, which can be acetylated to yield (E)-dec-5-en-1-yl acetate, as shown in Scheme 22. A suitable terminal hydroxylase enables this original synthesis route and reduces the synthesis cost of this pheromone.

Example 2. Biocatalytic Hydroxylation of Asymmetric and Diolefin Substrates

Asymmetric substrates shown in Tables 11, 12, and 13, including (Z)-hexadec-11-ene and diolefin substrates such as (E,E)-8,10-dodecadiene, are terminally hydroxylated via the enzymes presented in Tables 3, 4, and 5.

All strains listed in Table 14 were obtained by transforming their corresponding plasmid into E. coli BL21(DE3) cells using standard heat shock protocol. Briefly, aliquots of competent E. coli BL21(DE3) were thawed on ice and mixed with 1 ng of isolated DNA plasmid. The mixture was immersed in a 42° C. water bath for 10 seconds, followed by incubation at 4° C. for 2 minutes and 37° C. for 30 minutes before plating on Luria-Bertani agar plates with the appropriate antibiotics.

Plasmid pPV001 was obtained directly from EMD Millipore. Plasmids pPV003, pPV004, pPV007, and pPV008 were directly obtained from the Institut fur Technische Biochemie (Stuttgart, Germany). Plasmid pPV002 was obtained from the California Institute of Technology (Pasadena, USA). Plasmids pPV001, pPV003 and pPV002 served as the vector backbone for pET28a(+), pColaDuet-1, and pCom10 based plasmids listed in Table 15.

Plasmid pPV0020 was produced by ligation of DNA fragments obtained by restriction digest of pPV0018 (9195 bp fragment) and pPV0019 (2399 bp fragment) with XhoI and XbaI. Plasmid pPV021 was produced by Gibson assembly of DNA fragments obtained by (1) restriction digest of pPV0019 (9089 bp fragment) with EcoRI and SalI and (2) PCR product of 1406_provivi 023 with primers oPV001 and oPV002. The pPV022, pPV023 and pPV030 plasmids were produced by Gibson assembly of DNA fragments obtained by (1) restriction digest of pPV0019 (8550 bp fragment) with EcoRI and SfiI and (2) a splicing by overhang extension (SOE)-PCR product. For pPV022, the SOE-PCR was performed using primers oPV001 and oPV005 along with the PCR products from reactions containing (1) 1406_provivi024 with primers oPV001 and oPV004 and (2) pPV021 with primers oPV003 and oPV005.

For pPV030, the SOE-PCR was similarly performed using primers oPV001 and oPV005 along with the PCR products from reactions containing (1) 1406_provivi025 with primers oPV001 and oPV004 and (2) pPV0021 with primers oPV003 and oPV005.

Example 4. Identification of Candidate Enzymes/Strains with Known Terminal Alkane Hydroxylation Activity

Enzymes with terminal hydroxylation activity reported in the literature have generally been characterized for their substrate specificity with linear alkanes and/or fatty acids of various lengths. In certain aspects, the present invention relies upon the observation that the presence of the alkene bonds does not affect the regioselectivity and substrate specificity of the hydroxylases. A subset of known terminal hydroxylases selected from Tables 3, 4, and 5 with preference for C₈-C₁₈ substrates is determined. These sequences are evaluated for terminal hydroxylation according to Scheme 23 with substrates shown in Tables 11, 12, and 13, including (E)-dec-5-ene, (Z)-hexadec-11-ene, and (E,E)-8,10-dodecadiene:

Strains containing these types of enzymes that have been previously used for whole-cell terminal hydroxylation of alkanes or fatty acids are shown in Table 6.

To evaluate the activity of candidate enzymes not already present in an expression strain, the appropriate DNA expression vectors are constructed and transformed in the desired hosts. The identified genes are synthesized as gene products or multiple DNA fragments and inserted into vectors that have been previously used for expression, e.g., pET28a(+) for CYP153 and pGEc47 for AlkB, using standard molecular biology techniques. The correct expression vectors are confirmed by DNA sequencing and then introduced into the desired host via transformation to obtain the desired expression strains.

The constructed expression strains are used to determine the in vivo terminal hydroxylation activity of each candidate enzyme for substrates shown in Tables 11, 12, and 13, including (E)-dec-5-ene, (Z)-hexadec-11-ene, and (E,E)-8,10-dodecadiene. Typically, each strain is cultured in a suitable medium, such as Terrific Broth, until a sufficient cell density to induce enzyme expression with Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside or dicyclopropylketone. After a predetermined expression period, the cells are pelleted by centrifugation to remove the growth media. The biotransformation reaction is performed in nitrogen-free medium such as M9 or phosphate buffer to ensure the cells are in a resting state to maximize the supply of redox cofactors for the hydroxylation reaction. The alkene is present in the reaction as a neat organic overlay or part of the organic phase in a two-phase reaction. To evaluate strains with sufficient replicates, the initial reaction is performed on a 5-25 mL scale in a vial or flask. A carbon source such as glucose or glycerol can also be added to the reaction to support the regeneration of redox cofactors by the cells. The addition of a co-solvent such as bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate to improve the extraction of the product to the organic phase can be explored. In addition, reaction parameters such as reaction time, temperature, volume, ratio of organic and aqueous phases, aeration and cell density can be optimized.

The analysis of the whole-cell hydroxylation of substrates shown in Tables 11, 12, and 13, including (E)-dec-5-ene, (Z)-hexadec-11-ene, and (E,E)-8,10-dodecadiene reactions, requires the development of appropriate gas chromatography (GC) methods. The GC analysis of alkane and fatty acid terminal hydroxylation reactions has been performed with both mass spectrometry and flame ionization detectors. Authentic standards for (E)-dec-5-ene, (E)-dec-5-en-1-ol, and potential side-products, (E)-dec-5-ene-1,10-diol, (E)-dec-5-en-1-al, (E)-dec-5-enoic acid and 2,3-dibutyloxirane are obtained for method development and product quantification. Likewise, (Z)-hexadec-11-ene and (E,E)-8,10-dodecadiene and an assortment of likely hydroxylation or epoxidation products of these two molecules are used for method development and product quantification. A procedure for terminating the hydroxylation reaction and extracting the organic phase into a suitable GC solvent is used.

Demonstration of gram-scale production of (E)-dec-5-en-1-ol using biocatalytic terminal hydroxylation is performed in biotransformation reactions on a liter scale. To efficiently perform whole-cell hydroxylation on a liter scale, the reaction pH and aeration are controlled.

Evaluation of the most promising candidates from the 5-25 mL screening reactions in fermenters enables the identification and alleviation of reaction bottle-necks and inhibition effects of the product and by-products. Enzyme expression can also be further optimized in fermenters with enhanced control over culturing conditions.

Example 5: Hydroxylation of (E)-5-decene and (Z)-5-decene

The purpose of this example is to illustrate the biocatalytic hydroxylation of (E)-5-decene and (Z)-5-decene to (E)-5-decen-1-ol and (Z)-5-decen-1-ol, respectively, and the selectivity of the various enzymes towards either (E)-5-decene or (Z)-5-decene.

The 25 strains detailed in Example 3 were characterized for their ability to convert a mixture of (E)-5-decene and (Z)-5-decene to (E)-5-decen-1-ol and (Z)-5-decen-1-ol in whole cell bioconversion reactions.

Overnight cultures of these 25 strains were inoclulated from single colonies grown on LB agar plates containing 30 μg/ml of kanamycin into 2.5 mL of LB medium containing 30 μg/ml of kanamycin and incubated for 24 hours at 37° C. and 210 rpm. The overnight culture was used to inoculate 50 or 100 ml of Terrific Broth with a starting OD₆₀₀ of 0.1. After incubation for approximately 2.5 hours at 37° C. and 210 rpm the cultures reached an OD600 of approximately 1.0-1.5, at which point they were induced with 0.5 mM IPTG and supplemented with 0.5 mM 5-aminolevulinic acid, 50 mg/L thiamine, 1.2 mM MgSO₄, and 25 mL of a solution of trace elements (190 mg CaCl₂)*2H₂O, 90 mg ZnSO₄*7H₂O, 90 mg CoCl₂*6H₂O, 75 mg CuSO₄*5H₂O, 50 mg MnSO₄*H₂O, 11.1 mg Na₂-EDTA*2H₂O and 8.35 mg FeCl₃*6H₂O in 500 ml of ddH₂O). The culture was further incubated for 20 hours at 20° C. and 180 rpm. The cultures were then pelleted via centrifugation at 3900×g at 4° C. for 10 min, washed once with bioconversion buffer (100 mM phosphate buffer (pH7.2), 1% glycerol/0.4% glucose, 100 μg/ml FeSO4*7H₂O, and 30 μg/ml kanamycin), and pelleted again. Next, bioconversion buffer was added to the cell pellets targeting a cell wet weight of 100 g/L and the cell pellets were resuspended.

To carry out biotransformations, 1 mL of this mixture was transferred into sterile 40 mL amber screw cap vials and 1004 of an 84:16 mixture of (E)-5-decene:(Z)-5-decene was added along with 100 μL of isopropyl alcohol. This reaction mixture was incubated at 20° C. and 180 rpm for 1 hour before the reaction was quenched via addition of 100 μL of 3M HCL.

To extract the biotransformation products, 5 mL of n-hexane was added. The mixture was thoroughly mixed via shaking in an orbital shaker (20 min @ 250 rpm) and then allowed to settle undisturbed for 20 minutes. An aliquot (1 mL) of the organic layer was analyzed via gas chromatography (GC) using a J&W DB-23 column (30 m×25 mm×25 μm) coupled to an FID detector using the following temperature profile: 45° C. for 0.5 min; ramp 5° C./min to 50° C.; hold 0.5 min; ramp 30° C./min to 220° C.; hold 3.3 min. Retention for substrates and products were verified using authentic standards and were as follows: (E)-5-decene at 2.84 min, (Z)-5-decene at 2.91 min, (E)-5-decen-1-ol at 6.73 min, and (Z)-5-decen-1-ol at 6.79 min.

Results are shown in Table 17. These results demonstrate the capability of members of the CYP153 and AlkB family of enzymes to catalyze the hydroxylation of (E)-5-decene and (Z)-5-decene. Since the (E/Z)-5-decene substrate used in these bioconversion was an 84:16 mixture of the E:Z enantiomers, a product mixture with the same 84:16 ratio of (E)-5-decen-1-ol to (Z)-5-decen-1-ol would be obtained if the terminal hydroxylase exhibits no selectivity for either enantiomer. Our results demonstrate that the terminal hydroxylase does have a preference for one of the two substrate isomers, and isomeric enrichment for a particular alcohol product can be achieved by biohydroxylation.

Example 6: Hydroxylation of 1-Dodecene

The purpose of this example is to illustrate the biocatalytic hydroxylation of 1-dodecene to 11-dodecen-1-ol, and the selectivity of the various enzymes towards the production of either 11-dodecen-1-ol or 1,2-epoxydodecane.

The 25 strains detailed in Example 3 were characterized for their ability to convert 1-dodecene to 11-dodecen-1-ol and 1,2-epoxydodecane in whole cell bioconversion reactions.

Overnight cultures of these 25 strains were inoclulated from single colonies grown on LB agar plates containing 30 μg/ml of kanamycin into 2.5 mL of LB medium containing 30 μg/ml of kanamycin and incubated for 24 hours at 37° C. and 210 rpm. The overnight culture was used to inoculate 50 or 100 ml of Terrific Broth with a starting OD₆₀₀ of 0.1. After incubation for approximately 2.5 hours at 37° C. and 210 rpm the cultures reached an OD600 of approximately 1.0-1.5, at which point they were induced with 0.5 mM IPTG and supplemented with 0.5 mM 5-aminolevulinic acid, 50 mg/L thiamine, 1.2 mM MgSO₄, and 25 mL of a solution of trace elements (190 mg CaCl₂*2H₂O, 90 mg ZnSO₄*7H₂O, 90 mg CoCl₂*6H₂O, 75 mg CuSO₄*5H₂O, 50 mg MnSO₄*H₂O, 11.1 mg Na₂-EDTA*2H₂O and 8.35 mg FeCl₃*6H₂O in 500 ml of ddH₂O). The culture was further incubated for 20 hours at 20° C. and 180 rpm. The cultures were then pelleted via centrifugation at 3900×g at 4° C. for 10 min, washed once with bioconversion buffer (100 mM phosphate buffer (pH7.2), 1% glycerol/0.4% glucose, 100 μg/ml FeSO4*7H2O, and 30 μg/ml kanamycin), and pelleted again. Next, bioconversion buffer was added to the cell pellets targeting a cell wet weight of 100 g/L and the cell pellets were resuspended.

To carry out biotransformations, 1 mL of this mixture was transferred into sterile 40 mL amber screw cap vials and 100 μL of 1-dodecene was added along with 100 μL of isopropyl alcohol. This reaction mixture was incubated at 20° C. and 180 rpm for 4 hour before the reaction was quenched via addition of 100 μL of 3M HCL.

To extract the biotransformation products, 5 mL of n-hexane was added. The mixture was thoroughly mixed via shaking in an orbital shaker (20 min @ 250 rpm) and then allowed to settle undisturbed for 20 minutes. An aliquot (1 mL) of the organic layer was analyzed via gas chromatography (GC) using a J&W DB-23 column (30 m×25 mm×25 μm) coupled to an FID detector using the following temperature profile: 45° C. for 0.5 min; ramp 5° C./min to 50° C.; hold 0.5 min; ramp 30° C./min to 220° C.; hold 3.3 min. Retention for substrates and products were verified using authentic standards and were as follows: 1-dodecene at 4.35 min, 11-dodecen-1-ol at 8.91 min, and 1,2-epoxydodecane at 7.86 min.

Results are shown in Table 18. These results demonstrate the capability of members of the CYP153 and AlkB family of enzymes to catalyze the hydroxylation of 1-dodecene to produce 11-dodecen-1-ol. Furthermore, some of these enzyme are able to selectively form 11-dodecen-1-ol over the energetically favored 1,2-epoxydodecane product.

Cultures of the strains listed in Table 19 are inoculated, cultured, and subjected to a biotransformation procedure as described in Example 5 with the exception that (Z)-5-hexadecene was used as the substrate instead of the 84:16 mixture of (E)-5-decene:(Z)-5-decene. The biotransformation products are extracted and then analyzed via gas chromatography as described in Example 5 to identify products including (Z)-11-hexadecene-1-ol and (Z)-5-hexadecene-1-ol.

Example 8: Hydroxylation of (Z)-5-hexadecene by Cytochromes P450 of the CYP52 Family

The purpose of this example is to illustrate the biocatalytic hydroxylation of (Z)-5-hexadecene by members of the CYP52 family.

Two P450 cytochromes of the CYP52 family were integrated into the P. pastoris CBS7435 Mut^(S) genome along with their corresponding cytochrome P450 reductases (CPR).

Gene sequences for C. tropicalis CYP52A13 (Accession No. AA073953.1 (SEQ ID NO: 23)), C. tropicalis CPR (Accession No. P37201.1), C. maltosa CYP52A3 (Accession No. P24458.1 (SEQ ID NO: 24)), as well as the C. maltosa CPR (Accession No. P50126.1), were ordered as synthetic genes (DNA 2.0, Menlo Park, Calif., USA), and cloned into the pT4_S vector using EcoRI/NotI restriction sites for directional cloning. The plasmid containing the expression cassettes for CYP52A3/CPR and CYP52A13/CPR under the control of an AOX promoter and terminator were linearized using the restriction enzyme SmiI and purified. Next, 500 ng of the linearized DNA sequences for expressing CYP52A3/CPR (SEQ ID NO:13) and CYP52A13/CPR (SEQ ID NO:14) were used to transform P. pastoris CBS7435 Mut^(S). The parent strain and the generation of the pT4 S plasmid used to generate the subsequent constructs are described by Gudiminchi et al. (Biotechnology Journal, 2013, 8(1), 146-52).

Colony PCR of the obtained P. pastoris strains was performed to verify the P450 enzymes CYP52A3 and CYP52A13 were present using the Failsafe™ PCR Kit (EPICENTRE® Biotechnologies, Madison, Wis.; Catalog #FS99060) using Premix D and primers shown in Table 21 according to the manufactures recommendations.

Shake flask cultivations of the strains SPV048 and SPV051 were started from single colonies derived from an YBD agar plate (10 g/L Bacto™ yeast extract, 20 g/L Bacto™ peptone, 20 g/L D (+) glucose, 15 g/L agar) containing 100 mg/L Zeocin™. A volume of 45 mL of BMD1 medium (BMD1(1 L): 10 g/L D (+) glucose autoclaved, 200 mL 10×PPB (10×PPB: 30.0 g/L K₂HPO₄, 118 g/L KH₂PO₄, pH 6.0, autoclaved), 100 mL 10×YNB (10×YNB: 134 g/L Difco™ yeast nitrogen base without amino acids, autoclaved), 2 mL 500× buffer B (buffer B:10 mg/50 mL d-Biotin, filter sterilized), add autoclaved H₂O to 1 L) was inoculated with a single colony and incubated for approximately 63 h at 28° C. to 30° C. and 130 rpm in a 250 mL baffled Erlenmeyer flask. After the initial 63 h incubation 5 mL of BMM10 medium (BMM10 (1 L): 50 mL methanol, 200 mL 10×PPB (10×PPB: 30.0 g/L K₂HPO₄, 118 g/L KH₂PO₄, pH 6.0, autoclaved), 100 mL 10×YNB (10×YNB: 134 g/L Difco™ yeast nitrogen base without amino acids, autoclaved), 2 mL 500× buffer B (buffer B:10 mg/50 mL d-Biotin, filter sterilized), add autoclaved H₂O to 1 L) was added. The cultivations were incubated for 12 h at 28° C. to 30° C., 130 rpm. After 12 hours incubation 0.4 mL of methanol was added to induce expression of the P450 enzymes and their corresponding CPR's and incubated for 12 h at 28° C. to 30° C., 130 rpm. Thereafter, 0.4 mL of methanol was added every 12 h and incubated at 28° C. to 30° C., 130 rpm. Cells were harvested after induction for approximately 72 h to 80 h and a total cultivation time of approximately 132 h to 143 h.

As control a volume of 45 mL of BMD1 medium (BMD1 (1 L): 10 g/L D (+) glucose autoclaved, 200 mL 10×PPB (10×PPB: 30.0 g/L K₂HPO₄, 118 g/L KH₂PO₄, pH 6.0, autoclaved), 100 mL 10×YNB (10×YNB: 134 g/L Difco™ yeast nitrogen base without amino acids, autoclaved), 2 mL 500× buffer B (buffer B:10 mg/50 mL d-Biotin, filter sterilized), add autoclaved H₂O to 1 L) was inoculated with a single colony of strain SPV051 incubated for approximately 63 h at 28° C. to 30° C. and 130 rpm in a 250 mL baffled Erlenmeyer flask. After the initial 63 h incubation 5 mL of BMM10 medium without methanol (BMM10 without methanol (1 L): 200 mL 10×PPB (10×PPB: 30.0 g/L K₂HPO₄, 118 g/L KH₂PO₄, pH 6.0, autoclaved), 100 mL 10×YNB (10×YNB: 134 g/L Difco™ yeast nitrogen base without amino acids, autoclaved), 2 mL 500× buffer B (buffer B:10 mg/50 mL d-Biotin, filter sterilized), add autoclaved H₂O to 1 L) was added. The cultivations were incubated for additional 60 h to 68 h at 28° C. to 30° C., 130 rpm. Cells were harvested after a total cultivation time of approximately 132 h to 143 h.

Cultivations were harvested in 50 mL Falcon tubes via centrifugation at 3000×rcf for 5 min at 4° C. The supernatant was discarded. The pellet was resuspended in 5 mL 100 mM PPB (mix stock solutions: 80.2 mL of 1M K₂HPO₄ (174.18 g/L) with 19.8 mL of 1M KH₂PO₄ (136.09 g/L) autoclaved, add autoclaved H₂O to 1 L and adjust pH 7.4), containing 20% glycerol, pH 7.4 and centrifuged again at 3000×rcf for 5 min at 4° C. (washing step). The supernatant was discarded and the Falcon tube was carefully patted on a Kimwipe to remove excess buffer. Each pellet was weighed to determine the cell wet weight (cww) of the cultures. The washed pellet was resuspended in bioconversion buffer (100 mM PPB (mix stock solutions: 80.2 mL of 1M K₂HPO₄ (174.18 g/L) with 19.8 mL of 1M KH₂PO₄ (136.09 g/L) autoclaved, add autoclaved H₂O to 1 L and adjust to pH 7.4), 20% glycerol, 0.2% Emulgen 913 (Kao Chemicals, Japan), pH 7.4) targeting a final cell density of −200 g cww/L.

1 ml of the resuspended cultivation (200 g cww/L) was dispensed in a 50 mL Falcon tube. 125 μL neat substrate was added to each culture to initiate the bioconversion reactions. The bioconversion reactions were incubated at 30° C. and 200 rpm for 40 h to 48 h. The samples were stored at −80° C. until extraction and analysis of the respective product formation.

250 μL of 3 M HCl was added to each of the frozen samples. After addition of HCl samples were extracted twice with 1×1 mL or 2×2 mL diethyl ether. 10 μL of 10 mg/mL 1-Heptanol or 10 μL of 10 mg/mL 1-Tetradecanol was added to the sample as internal standard. Upon addition of diethyl ether and internal standard the sample was vortexed for 5 min. The entire sample was transferred to new reaction tubes and centrifuged for 10 min/8000×rcf at room temperature. The organic upper phase was transferred to a glass vial and air dried. The sample was resuspended to a final volume of 100 μL to 150 μL using Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) or resuspended to a final volume of 200 μL using Tetrahydrofuran (THF) and analyzed via gas chromatography (GC).

An Agilent 6890 equipped with an FID detector and a J&W DB-23 column (length: 30 m, I.D. 25 mm, film 25 μm) was used to analyze the samples using the following program: Split ratio of 1:10. 240° C. for the injector inlet: 240° C. for the detector, H₂ at 40.0 Air at 450 mL/min, Makeup flow (He) at 45 mL/min. Carrier He at 1.1 mL/min and 13 psi. 45° C. oven for 0.5 min; 5° C./min gradient to 50° C. then hold at 50° C. for 0.5 min; 30° C./min gradient to 220° C., then hold at 220° C. for 3.33 min. Analysis was performed in triplicate using authentic standards (obtained from Sigma-Aldrich or Bedoukian Research).

Results are shown in Table 22 and FIG. 1. Surprisingly, the CYP52 enzymes exhibit selectivity for one end of the (Z)-5-hexadecene substrate over the other: The SPV048 bioconversion produced 66.8% (Z)-5-hexadecen-1-ol and 33.2% (Z)-11-hexadecen-1-ol while the SPV051 bioconversion produced 27.6% (Z)-5-hexadecen-1-ol and 74.4% (Z)-11-hexadecen-1-ol.

Example 9: Hydroxylation of 1-dodecyne

The purpose of this example is to illustrate the biocatalytic hydroxylation of 1-dodecyne to 11-dodecyn-1-ol.

The 25 strains detailed in Example 3 were characterized for their ability to convert 1-dodecyne to 11-dodecyn-1-ol in whole cell bioconversion reactions.

Overnight cultures of these 25 strains were inoclulated from single colonies grown on LB agar plates containing 30 μg/ml of kanamycin into 2.5 mL of LB medium containing 30 μg/ml of kanamycin and incubated for 24 hours at 37° C. and 210 rpm. The overnight culture was used to inoculate 50 or 100 ml of Terrific Broth with a starting OD₆₀₀ of 0.1. After incubation for approximately 2.5 hours at 37° C. and 210 rpm the cultures reached an OD600 of approximately 1.0-1.5, at which point they were induced with 0.5 mM IPTG and supplemented with 0.5 mM 5-aminolevulinic acid, 50 mg/L thiamine, 1.2 mM MgSO₄, and 25 mL of a solution of trace elements (190 mg CaCl₂*2H₂O, 90 mg ZnSO₄*7H₂O, 90 mg CoCl₂*6H₂O, 75 mg CuSO₄*5H₂O, 50 mg MnSO₄*H₂O, 11.1 mg Na₂-EDTA*2H₂O and 8.35 mg FeCl₃*6H₂O in 500 ml of ddH₂O). The culture was further incubated for 20 hours at 20° C. and 180 rpm. The cultures were then pelleted via centrifugation at 3900×g at 4° C. for 10 min, washed once with bioconversion buffer (100 mM phosphate buffer (pH7.2), 1% glycerol/0.4% glucose, 100 μg/ml FeSO4*7H2O, and 30 μg/ml kanamycin), and pelleted again. Next, bioconversion buffer was added to the cell pellets targeting a cell wet weight of 100 g/L and the cell pellets were resuspended.

To carry out biotransformations, 1 mL of this mixture was transferred into sterile 40 mL amber screw cap vials and 100 μL of 1-dodecyne was added along with 100 μL of isopropyl alcohol. This reaction mixture was incubated at 20° C. and 180 rpm for 4 hour before the reaction was quenched via addition of 100 μL of 3M HCL.

To extract the biotransformation products, 5 mL of n-hexane was added. The mixture was thoroughly mixed via shaking in an orbital shaker (20 min @ 250 rpm) and then allowed to settle undisturbed for 20 minutes. An aliquot (1 mL) of the organic layer was analyzed via gas chromatography (GC) using a J&W DB-23 column (30 m×25 mm×25 um) coupled to an FID detector using the following temperature profile: 45° C. for 0.5 min; ramp 5° C./min to 50° C.; hold 0.5 min; ramp 30° C./min to 220° C.; hold 3.3 min. Retention for substrates and products were verified using authentic standards and were as follows: 1-dodecyne at 6.34 min and 11-dodecyn-1-ol at 9.71 min.

Results are shown in Table 23. These results demonstrate the capability of members of the CYP153 and AlkB family of enzymes to catalyze the hydroxylation of 1-dodecyne to produce 11-dodecyn-1-ol.

Example 11

Synthesis of (E)-5-decen-1-ol is carried out according to Scheme 24.

E-5-Decene:

The synthesis of E-5-decene is carried out according to the Example 6 disclosed in the US Patent Application No. 2013/0023665 A1. Briefly, into a 25 mL Schlenk flask, the catalyst (Richard Pederson et al. Adv. Synth. Catal. 2002, 344, 728) (0.0032 mmol) and then 0.4 mL of 1-hexene is added under argon atmosphere. The mixture is stirred at 40° C. for 2 hours. The reaction is quenched by filtration through a plug of silica gel (˜2 cm) packed in a Pasteur pipette using pentane as eluent. The reaction solvent is removed under reduced pressured. The desired product, E-5-decene, is purified by distillation and characterized by GC and NMR.

E-5-decen-1-ol:

E-5-Decene is then subjected to biohydroxylation according to the process disclosed in Example 6 to generate E-5-decen-1-ol. The product is isolated by extraction of the fermentation broth with organic solvent and purified by distillation.

Example 12

Synthesis of (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol is carried out according to Scheme 25.

Z-3-Hexene:

A 5-L jacketed 3-necked flask is equipped with a magnetic stir bar, gas feeding tube and a packed bed column containing a dry ice condenser. Z-selective catalyst (see, Scheme 19a) 2.97 g, 0.0035 mol, 0.023 mol % based on 1-butene added) and toluene (240 g) are added. The flask is sparged with argon for 15 min, while being cooled to 15° C. 1-Butene (841 g, 15.0 mol) is added by bubbling into the toluene solution over 10.5 hours. The rate of addition is such that the reaction temperature remains above 10° C. After 10.5 hours, the packed bed column and the dry ice condenser are replaced with a Friedrich condenser. The Friedrich condenser is circulated with 0° C. coolant. The reaction flask is cooled to 10° C. An argon purge with a flow rate of 1 L/minute is maintained for 12 hours. The metathesis catalyst is removed by the in-situ generation of catalyst-tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine (THP) complex. Tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride (TKC) (80% purity, 20.80 g, 25 equivalent to catalyst) and NaHCO₃ (7.35 g, 25 equivalent to catalyst) are added to the solution. The chiller/heater controlling the jacketed flask is set to 40° C. and stirred for 18 hours. The reaction is cooled to 10° C. and washed with water (500 mL) and brine (500 mL) and dried over anhydrous Na₂SO₄. Z-3-Hexene is isolated by distillation.

Z-3-Hexen-1-ol:

Z-3-Decene is subjected to biohydroxylation according to the process disclosed in Example 6 to generate Z-3-hexen-1-ol. The product is isolated by extraction of the fermentation broth with organic solvent and purified by distillation.

Example 13

Synthesis of (Z)-11-hexadecenol is carried out according to Scheme 26.

Z-5-hexadecene:

The cross metathesis reactions of 1-hexene and dodec-1-ene is carried out in a 250 mL three-necked round-bottomed flask fitted with a condenser, thermometer and septum. The dodec-1-ene (20 mL) is transferred to the reaction flask along with 4 mole equivalent of 1-hexene and the mixture is heated to the desired reaction temperature (ranging from 30 to 100° C.) using an oil bath on a controlled hotplate magnetic stirrer. Thereafter 0.5 mol % of the catalyst (based on dodec-1-ene added; see Scheme 19a) is added to the flask and the reaction mixture is continuously stirred with a magnetic stirrer bar until the formation of the primary metathesis products is completed. The progress of the reaction is monitored by GC/FID.
